DHL Express has announced the introduction of Heavy Weight Express (HWX), an express air solution for shipments up to 1,000kg per piece and 3,000kg per shipment.
HWX will seek to integrate fast, time-definite delivery with full end-to-end control, proactive monitoring, and all-in pricing.
The solution is supported by the introduction of dedicated Heavy Weight Priority Desks around the world who will be responsible for providing tracking, early exception detection, real-time intervention services.
Each heavyweight shipment receives dedicated case ownership, giving customers predictability, but with the additional advantage of DHL’s global integrator infrastructure, standardized processes, and 24/7 operational control.
DHL Express CEO John Pearson said: “Heavy Weight Express represents a strategically important step for our business, expanding the value that DHL Express brings to global supply chains.
“As industries face rising volatility, increasingly complex production cycles, and significant financial exposure from delays and supply chain disruption, DHL’s ability to offer express-level speed, access to capacity and higher reliability for shipments up to 3,000 kilograms fundamentally changes the service levels that customers can expect from their logistics provider.”
IntraLogisteX 2026 takes place on 17-18 March 2027 at the NEC Birmingham. For exhibitor information and visitor registration, visit the official event website at www.intralogistex.co.uk
